.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBscf_value_create()\fR function creates a new, reset \fBscf_value_t\fR
that holds a single typed value. The value can be used only with the handle
specified by \fIh\fR and objects associated with \fIh\fR.
.sp
.LP
The \fBscf_value_reset()\fR function resets the value to the uninitialized
state. The \fBscf_value_destroy()\fR function deallocates the object.
.sp
.LP
The \fBscf_value_type()\fR function retrieves the type of the contents of
\fIv\fR. The \fBscf_value_is_type()\fR function determines if a value is of a
particular type or any of its subtypes. The \fBscf_type_base_type()\fR function
returns the base type of \fItype\fR. The \fBscf_value_base_type()\fR function
returns the true base type of the value (the highest type reachable from the
value's type).

.sp
.LP
The \fBscf_value_get_boolean()\fR, \fBscf_value_get_count()\fR,
\fBscf_value_get_integer()\fR, \fBscf_value_get_time()\fR,
\fBscf_value_get_astring()\fR, \fBscf_value_get_ustring()\fR, and
\fBscf_value_get_opaque()\fR functions read a particular type of value from
\fIv\fR.
.sp
.LP
The \fBscf_value_get_as_string()\fR and \fBscf_value_get_as_string_typed()\fR
functions convert the value to a string form. For
\fBscf_value_get_as_string_typed()\fR, the value must be a reachable subtype of
\fItype\fR.
.sp
.LP
The \fBscf_value_set_boolean()\fR, \fBscf_value_set_count()\fR,
\fBscf_value_set_integer()\fR, \fBscf_value_set_time()\fR,
\fBscf_value_set_astring()\fR, \fBscf_value_set_ustring()\fR, and
\fBscf_value_set_opaque()\fR functions set \fIv\fR to a particular value of a
particular type.
.sp
.LP
The \fBscf_value_set_from_string()\fR function is the inverse of
\fBscf_value_get_as_string()\fR. It sets \fIv\fR to the value encoded in
\fIbuf\fR of type \fItype\fR.
.sp
.LP
The \fBscf_value_set_*()\fR functions will succeed on \fBscf_value_t\fR objects
that have already been set.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
Upon successful completion, \fBscf_value_create()\fR returns a new, reset
\fBscf_value_t\fR. Otherwise, it returns \fINULL\fR.
.sp
.LP
Upon successful completion, \fBscf_value_handle()\fR returns the handle
associated with \fIv\fR. Otherwise, it returns \fINULL\fR.
.sp
.LP
The \fBscf_value_base_type()\fR function returns the base type of the value, or
\fBSCF_TYPE_INVALID\fR on failure.
.sp
.LP
Upon successful completion, \fBscf_value_type()\fR returns the type of the
value. Otherwise, it returns \fBSCF_TYPE_INVALID\fR.
.sp
.LP
Upon successful completion, \fBscf_value_is_type()\fR,
\fBscf_value_get_boolean()\fR, \fBscf_value_get_count()\fR,
\fBscf_value_get_integer()\fR, \fBscf_value_get_time()\fR,
\fBscf_value_set_time()\fR, \fBscf_value_set_from_string()\fR,
\fBscf_value_set_astring()\fR, \fBscf_value_set_ustring()\fR, and
\fBscf_value_set_opaque()\fR return 0. Otherwise, they return -1.
.sp
.LP
Upon successful completion, \fBscf_value_get_astring()\fR,
\fBscf_value_get_ustring()\fR, \fBscf_value_get_as_string()\fR, and
\fBscf_value_get_as_string_typed()\fR return the length of the source string,
not including the terminating null byte. Otherwise, they return -1.
.sp
.LP
Upon successful completion, \fBscf_value_get_opaque()\fR returns the number of
bytes written. Otherwise, it returns -1.
